effectively get the job done. It spreads the
responsibilities so no one person has too much to
do.

person grows as he/she has responsibilities and
produces. It prepares others to lead when the
leader is no longer there.

to others frees up the leaders schedule and mind
to pursue different and possibly more important
things.

allows the leader to share authority with others.
It creates ownership in the group and an
environment of teamwork.

delegate because he/she is overextended.

someone more skilled in a particular task. IT IS
NOT IMPORTANT THAT A LEADER BE ABLE TO DO
EVERYTHING, BUT TO BE ABLE TO RECRUIT PEOPLE WITH
THE SKILLS TO DO THE JOB.
